Personal:

I'm married with four children.  I run with a group called the Bingham Butt-Kickers, a really fun group of people that gets me out running early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays.   I recently found out that I've been running with poor form for many years, which has probably contributed to some nagging aches and pains I've had for years.  One of my big goals now is to be able to run with better form and to have running feel more effortless.  I hope this won't take too many years to achieve!

Finally, a fairly good day of running.  I stayed inside on the treadmill and ran at various speeds while watching Road Trip, which starred one of my daughter's favorite actresses, Raven Simone, and one of my favorite entertainers, Donny Osmond!  It was a pretty funny movie, it kept me entertained and on the treadmill longer than I probably would have stayed on otherwise.  Merry Christmas to everyone!  I think my shopping's about done.

I am so glad your shopping's done :) See you Friday. I hope you get feeling better.

That's exactly why I want a treadmill of my own! I'm sure if I were able to pop in a movie, time would go so much faster than it does at the gym where I'm peering at the tiny tv screens at something I don't even want to watch!

Merry Christmas!

You had to shop yesterday?? WOW, we just had to go to the grocery store and it was NUTS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Jody, Becca, and Kelli--Thanks for the comments. A home treadmill is great for the reason you mentioned, Becca, you can watch what you want, not just what's on at the gym. Though I do enjoy going to the gym also, I think you get energized being around others who are working out.

Hope everyone's had a great Christmas!

Glad to hear you having a good day running! You deserve it for sure. Hamstrings been bothering you at all lately?

Cheryl, sure missed you on Friday. The weather was so miserable I don't blame you for canceling. Hopefully the weather will cooperate next week. Hope you had a very Merry Christmas.

Donny Osmond and a treadmill. That is quite a combination. Oh Cheryl, it is so fun to tease!

Talk to you soon.

Steve--my hamstrings still bother me. I don't know what to do, it seems like I try everything but still they give me trouble. I'll just have to learn to live with it, I guess.

Eric--Donny Osmond, the crush of my childhood (should I admit that?) I tell my girls he was the David Archuleta of my time. I'm sure you probably had a crush on Marie, just admit it!

From erico on Sat, Dec 27, 2008 at 21:57:48

Cheryl, yeah, Marie was hot, although I was only 7 years old when their show was on TV. I loved it when Donny would blow-up the piano during the opener of the show. Very cool! "I'm a little bit country…" "…and I'm a little bit Rock n' Roll…"
